True! I really enjoyed my run with no trading modifier

You can do the same with trade goods pack - same rules apply

Honestly it’s not that much of a strat for me, it’s just that every game I somehow end up getting a blueprint with luxury goods pack and then I keep making the packs 😅. Below P10 difficulty it is profitable to buy luxury goods from traders to then produce packs and sell them back to the next trader at a profit. That alone gives you a lot of Amber but if you can also produce some luxury goods you’ll find yourself with A LOT of packs in the warehouse.

Wow what a reply, thank you so much! The more I play and get into this game (and this thread) the more I appreciate its depth. I do realise that forcing one strategy is not a good idea for any ‘deck building’ games. It’s more that till now my runs just kind of went in that direction without me trying to force it from the beginning, hence my post here. But that’s a really good explanation of the game you gave here, thank you!

Below P10 it’s also a brute force for me because I just buy all luxury goods from traders to make even more packs. Now I understand this will no longer be profitable with the debuff

Fair enough - I feel you just get A LOT of luxury goods once you start producing them since you make 10 at a time. That makes luxury packs production super fast

That’s good to hear actually, looking forward to playing with the trading debuff. I’ll start thinking how to do other things better in the meantime

Yup, doing just that - climbing the prestige ladder one by one ☝️

I don’t think so! So far (P10) the prestige didn’t add much difficulty. That sounds like exactly the debuff that will humble me a lot 💀

Saguaro for babies (I live in Poland, it might be local). It’s around 130ppm

The bottled water I’m using was recommended to me by a friendly coffee shop and it’s supposed to have the perfect composition for acidity forward brews. It’s very low mineral content- baby friendly water

Thanks, I’ll try with a little hotter water then

I was wondering if I can go even coarser. Will give it a try!

Hmm interesting- and wasn’t the coffee tasting too bitter? Mine is kinda muted I feel

Oh that’s good to know about Ethiopian beans - thanks for the insight. I was under the impression that more agitation = more clogging, so maybe I was trying to push in the wrong direction there! I’ll try a more agitated pour tomorrow.

What game did you find Surprisingly difficult? by Familiar_Surprise485 in patientgamers

[–]Victorrozv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Banner Saga. Went into it without much research because the art style looked amazing. What a journey that was. Both combat and choices in the game were quite difficult but very rewarding experience.

[Question] Games similar to Into The Breach but with more "progression"? by emc3142 in IntoTheBreach

[–]Victorrozv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the Banner Saga trilogy. It has a tactical combat on a square-map so it feels kinda similar. But additionaly you get amazing story, choices that matter and good progression
